Is that the 1331cc twin cam fuel injected.
5 speed box I presume.
About 88 bhp.
If it all works out I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to move on to the turbo version.(130 bhp).
There is a limit on the size of attachments but the quality is still good enough if you resize them. I usually open them in paint, crop the picture and save as a jpeg.

Some more work done inner sill fitted
Wing taken off small patch put in over the shock mount and over the air vent
Drivers wing taken off to get started on that side
Going treating all the under side of the car with this and inside the sills wings and as much as I can was told by lots of people that it was very good so there's only one way to find out

Good man Geoffrey,
I had a '99 1.3 Starlet a few years ago and it's a lively car with a sweet gearbox.
Keep the updates coming,
Billy

If you can find a jap import 4efe engine and its ecu they are 100bhp. Look for pink fuel injectors. 1500's are hard got nowadays. 6spd Corolla box has a name for being soft, I'd stick with standard 5 spd. Starlet GT turbo box, alloy end cover and 8 bolt diff, has a longer 1st gear and can also take Torsen type lsd out of 6spd Levin gearbox.
Looking forward to the build !
